No need to separate by genre. They can be in each their own folder or all under the same folder.

I prefer to have them in each their own folder.

thanks for the help. I forgot to mention that i have a PBO running medebo shizzil and external HDD.
I tried placing each movie in their own folder with all the files from thumbgen and they won't show any cover art but when i separate my movies by genre they do show covert art and all info, I don't know what i'm doing wrong, maybe my movie path is not right, this is the way i place my folders

movies/action/movie name(and all files from thumbgen). covert art and movie info works
movies/movie name(and all files from thumbgen) covert art does not work

Try a movie on a USB stick and place that movie in its own folder
Movies/Movie Folder Name/Movie name and all associated files

Create your sheet with that format and see if that works. You can't just create sheets for a certain path and move them to a different path. Create new ones for the new path and see.

what i did was; instead of making a bunch genre folders i made just one folder and placed all my movies there: movies/movies/all movies in separate folders and it worked.
this is not what i wanted, what i want is to have all my movies there when i open movie wall , i don't know if it's possible.
i tried what you suggested putting movie in usb stick and it didn't work. Sorry for the noob question but i just learning how to use thumbgen, where are the options to change path? thanks for the help
